Conrad Hal Waddington was born OTD in 1905.

His “epigenetic landscape” is a diagrammatic representation of the constraints influencing embryonic development.

On his 50th birthday, his colleagues gave him a pinball machine on the model of the epigenetic landscape.

Academia taught me to chase prestige.
Purpose taught me what actually matters.

Your value isn’t tied to citations or grants.
It’s in the impact you create, the lives you touch, and the purpose you choose.

Don’t forget that.

What do people use to make composite figures like this for scientific papers? I've been using CorelDraw but having so many images in a program made for vectors makes the file huge...as in, it auto-saves every 10 minutes, but takes four minutes to save so I only get six to work on it. 🧪
